Hey Jester!

Are you at Geelong Uni?
Yeah, well I'm willing to collaborate with anyone on this project. How
did you hear about the rumor of the Australian sourcebook anyway?
If there is one, I don't want to contradict FASA so can anyone verify
this interesting piece of info. from the grapevine.
Anyway, get back to me...

No. The university in Geelong is Deakin Uni (trust me, I lived in Geelong
for years), I'm at Griffith in Brisbane. I *would* have been where you
are, except I don't like Sydney so I came here...

Rumor on the list has it set for 1998, which means we'll see it in about
2005, I'd say.

The list (well, Gurth) has decided that Australia's fair game 'cause the
SB's so far off.

That's about it, yes. FASA had it planned for this year originally, then
it was moved to early 1997, and then to early 1998. It'll be a Running
Short II by the looks of it...

All of the guys over here in Australia are itching to put something
together in the way of an Australian sourcebook. I asked FASATom (when
he was still around) whether they wanted anyone to write the sourcebook,
or provide bits and pieces of info, about two years ago..... He said that
"someone was already working on it, and had nearly completed it"

Two years??? I want to find the author (supposedly Australian) and
strangle him.

Bleach.
